Enough bad things have happened to the Burlington Royals on the field in their seven-game losing streak. Now they just want a chance to snap the string.

Thursday night’s game against the Princeton Rays was postponed by wet outfield grounds at Burlington Athletic Stadium. That means the Royals have played on only one of the past five nights.

“We want to get back on a winning streak and we can’t even do that,” Royals outfielder Desmond Henry said. “Nothing good can happen.”

The Appalachian League teams will make up the game as part of a doubleheader at 5 p.m. Friday. Both teams have been idle the past three days, though Tuesday was already a scheduled day off.

“It’s very frustrating,” Burlington manager Tommy Shields said. “One of the things you want to do with a struggling team is get on the field and work with them.”

The Royals held batting practice in the cages prior to the postponement.

“We would like to get back on the field and play and get our offense going again and all the other aspects going again like we did at the beginning of the year,” said Royals first baseman Sam Bates, who went to Wrightsville Beach with his family on Tuesday’s scheduled off day.

As it turned out, they could have stayed longer.

The Rays, who’ve won three in a row, are getting antsy, too, after postponements on consecutive nights.

“We’re dying to play,” Princeton second baseman Coty Blanchard said. “Three days in a row is rough.”

Henry, who was a Texas Rangers minor leaguer until this season, said he can’t recall just a long unscheduled layoff.

Shields equated the stretch to last season when the Royals were on a mid-July road trip in Kingsport, Tenn., and Princeton, W.Va. The team had postponements on four consecutive nights following a scheduled off day.

Fans who chose to wait around after the announcement of the postponement — and the turnstile count had eclipsed 1,050 with others waiting outside — were treated to the scheduled Independence Day fireworks show.

Burlington sends Matt Tenuta and Zach Lovvorn to the mound Friday. Princeton will go with Nolan Gannon in the first game. Manager Danny Sheaffer said he was uncertain about a Game 2 starter.
